Skeptic I disagree with you regarding Hunter Clarke. Virtually all the things I have read have him as a defender that drifts into the midfield. And when he does he plays an inside role. Below is a fair article about him. Kid has talent no doubt about it but IMO and everything I have read on him he is a half back flanker. I am more annoyed at our last 2 picks as Hunter and Coffield were tipped for us unless we got a slider. Why get 2 more defenders?

He averaged 30 disposals in TAC cup and won his club B & F by miles including thrashing LDU at the same club.Clark became a valuable inside and outside midfielder this season, having previously played as rebounding defender.
He is not a flanker.
In an interview he says he deliberately played midfield this season. The only reason he dropped from the top 5 and had a slow start to the season was because he was injured. In the last month of the season he was dominating not unlike Clayton Oliver did.
